Without a doubt one of the most beloved and universally respected veterans of the Greenwich Village folk scene whose fan base still stretches across the English speaking world, Tom Paxton is quite literally a Living Legend. Known both for his exquisitely romantic compositions such as "The Last Thing On My Mind" (which has been recorded by over 200 artists worldwide) and his hilarious yet acidic satirical takes on current politics (including, we hear, a new Sarah Palin song,) Tom's music has always remained deeply vibrant and entirely contemporary. He is one of the great songwriters of the last century, and a man we have come to regard as our friend.


Tom Paxton has contributed so much to the world of contemporary folk song, especially his songs of protest against segregation in the southern states of the US in the Sixties, apartheid in South Africa, the wars in Vietnam and Iraq to ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, and it was impossible not to be seriously moved by his tributes to New York's firefighters for their sacrifices...
– Alan Keen, Member of British Parliament

Tom Paxton's songs are so powerful and lyrical, written from the heart and the conscience, and they reach their mark, our most inner being. He writes stirring songs of social protest and gentle songs of love, each woven together with his personal gift for language. His melodies haunt, his lyrics reverberate. I have sung Tom's songs for three decades and will go on doing so in this new century, for they are beautiful and timeless and meant for every age.
– Judy Collins

Tom Paxton embodies the spirit of folk music in the most beautiful sense. Not just in his song crafting, his work ethic, his politics and his dedication to people's music, but also in his kind and generous heart. When I first started playing folk festivals I was all of eighteen, shaved head and politically outspoken. Many in the folk community at the time seemed defensive and threatened by me, but I remember Tom was a notable exception. He was nothing but warm, welcoming and supportive to me from the git go. He's the coolest.
– Ani DiFranco


Every folk singer I know has either sung a Tom Paxton song, is singing a Tom Paxton song, or will soon sing a Tom Paxton song. Now either all those folk singers are wrong or Tom Paxton is one hell of a folk singer.
